Abstract:
The application of new technology to the diagnosis of infectious disease in neonates has markedly increased the potential for early clinical intervention. Although far from perfect, the new tests have increased knowledge of the nature of these diseases and give physicians the opportunity to apply current treatments more effectively as well as to develop new modes of therapy for this important class of diseases.
